Tiramisu Overnight Oats Healthy Dairy Free

We love desserts for breakfast, and overnight oats recipes are perfect for it! You might have tried my Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats, Overnight Oats with Protein Powder, Protein Overnight Oats and Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats versions. Overnight oats are a delicious way of meal-prepping a week of super-healthy breakfasts without having to spend hours in the kitchen. This version with a tiramisu twist will bring you all your favorite dessert flavors. Now, let’s share an overnight oats recipe for chocolate and coffee lovers!

Overnight Oats Benefits

Overnight oats are amazing breakfasts that I love to make for a bunch of reasons:

It’s really nutritious. With oats’ protein and healthy carbs to keep you full, chia seeds loaded with protein and vitamins (source), and the known virtues of coffee (source), it’s a great way to start the day. You can make a whole week of breakfasts. I always make rather large batches of my overnight oats to meal prep several days. It doesn’t take long to make. You can put these tiramisu overnight oats together in just a few minutes. You just have to be patient before enjoying it!

Ingredients and Substitutions

It’s very easy to make overnight oats and to make a tiramisu-style version, you need:

Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats or quick oats. Chia Seeds – black or white chia seeds work. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – I prefer using unsweetened cocoa as it makes it easier to balance the sweetness with maple syrup. If all you have is sweetened cocoa, reduce the quantity of maple syrup accordingly. Freshly Brewed Coffee – at room temperature or lukewarm. You can also use instant coffee and rehydrate two teaspoons in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water to stir in the oat mixture. Vanilla Extract – for more intense flavors. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you like, including oat milk, coconut milk, or peanut milk. Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener you like, like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup.

Vanilla Mascarpone Layer

To make healthy tiramisu overnight oats, you choose to make a high-protein dairy-free mascarpone layer. The ingredients we used are:

Dairy-free Greek yogurt – you can use soy Greek-style yogurt to boost the protein or coconut yogurt for a creamier, thicker texture. Vanilla protein powder Maple syrup

How To Make Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Making The Mascarpone

On the day, prepare the healthy mascarpone layer. This recipe serves two jars, and you can make the jars ahead up to 2 days before. Cover the top of the glass mason jar with a lid or piece of plastic wrap to keep the overnight oats moist and creamy.

Making Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats

You can up the proteins in this recipe by adding some of the below ingredients to the recipe. Stir two tablespoons with the liquid ingredients of:

Protein Powder – I like to use a clean pea protein powder, but I’ve successfully made it with peanut protein powder and almond protein powder. Use chocolate-flavored protein powder to boost the chocolate flavor of the tiramisu. Almond Butter or peanut butter Yogurt – Soy yogurt contains some protein. There are some protein-enriched versions available. Hemp Seeds – You can either use full hemp hears or ground hemp seeds.

Storage Instructions

You can store overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container if not combined with yogurt. You can freeze overnight oats and thaw them in the fridge the day before.

Allergy Swaps

This overnight oats recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan. If you have some food allergies, you can adapt this recipe by replacing some main ingredients. For example,

Gluten-free – use a gluten-free certified oats brand. Sugar-free – you can replace maple syrup with sugar-free liquid sweetener made of Monk fruit, a few stevia drops, erythritol, or xylitol.

Taste And Texture

This overnight oat recipe is for chocolate and coffee lovers. The chocolate coffee layer is creamy, with a light coffee flavor and balanced by a thick creamy vanilla yogurt layer. If you want to add some crunch or a biscuit flavor, you can crumble some Biscoff cookies between each layer or some of my shortbread cookies.
